Need Help Bridgetown's fort not taking any damage

[TommyM]

I got to the part on the storyline where I must capture Bridgetown in order to free Clement from the prison.
I shot endlessly at the fort but he is not taking any damage...

What version of beta 3 are you using? Methinks this was fixed a week or so ago.

I suspect the commander is being set immortal, but it is not turned back off.
When I tested, I didn't actually do it by playing through the story the proper way.

Open PROGRAM\console.c and find:

void ExecuteConsole()
{
   ref pchar = GetMainCharacter();
   ref ch;
   int i;
   int limit;

Below this, add:

LAi_SetImmortal(characterFromID("Greenford Commander"), false);

Press F12 on your savegame and see if that works any better.

That --

LAi_SetImmortal(characterFromID("Greenford Commander"), false);

appears in the quest_reactions.c

but it is in amongst a lot of deactivated code (around line 2480 ) here:-

That is exactly what I found. I have re-enabled that line in the new installer EXE that I just replaced the old one with.
That should solve the problem properly, I hope.

 

[TommyM]

Thank you, my problem is solved

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Thanks for catching that one!

That's what I get for using jump-starts for testing purposes. It isn't a REAL test that way.
